On the front panel of the DVD-RW, you should see a small hole, either above or below the tray. Take a paper clip and open it out. This should just about fit into the hole. Push the clip tip into the hole as far as it will go and keep poking around. This will actuate the manual release lever for the tray and the tray should pop out.S-L-O-W-L-Y pull the tray out and take out your DVD. Restart the computer and the tray should go in automatically.

Hi, well I think your DVDRW is OK & you don't need any driver. The detail that you are missing is the "jumper" found on your DVDRW. Normally you have 2 connections on your IDE cable. The upper one being "master" & the second middle one "slave". You should set the jumper according to the place on the cable where it is connected. You will find CSM written on your DVDRW. 'C' means cable select, 'S' means Slave & 'M' means Master.You should refer to it when setting the jumper. If you have 2 drives on that cable & they are both set as 'slave' or both 'master', therefore only one would be detected & displayed in my computer.Your problem would surely be solved... & have a nice time.Please send us your vote & feedback to help us help you.

You need to remove The Virus.
You should then remove The DVD Drive Manually from The Machine.
Start the Computer without The Drive, then power Off the Computer.
re-install the Drive, boot up and Hopefully it should be detected in ( found new Hardware ) if not, go to add new hardware wizard, and see if it,s detected there. A Virus Can Actually lock-Off a Drive.
